The Claws’ label – Two Syllable – has set up a donation page on PayPal. Get to givin’.

ORIGINAL POST:

Man oh man do I wish the title to this post was a joke.

Our friends in Candy Claws have been playing at Everyday Joe’s since their mothers had to drop them off for their sets. They have not always been Candy Claws. They have been many bands. And their voices have changed.

As Candy Claws, though, our friends have found a bit of national success. This success requires touring. This touring requires cars.

As the band drove through Pennsylvania on Saturday, black smoke began pouring out of their engine. They quickly pulled over and popped the hood. Upon seeing what they saw, they retreated down the highway on foot. This is where we now enter picture form:

Flaming Candy Claws Automobile

Thankfully, no one was hurt. The gas tank was pretty full, so the fire burned for some time. That burning fire consumed the band’s gear and CD’s. They have been loaned a van by a delightful farming family so they can get to their shows in NYC, where the record label has loaner gear waiting for them.

The band is still waiting to hear back from the folks-os at the insurance co. RE:money for gear destroyed in a car fire. From what bassist Mr. Jon Alonzo tells me, they aren’t sure what – or if – things will be replaced. With that in mind, and with generosity in your heart,  please go support the good people of Candy Claws on the rest of their summer tour. Dates are below. We plan on hosting a benefit show for them come mid-August. Deets on that soon. For now, check the dates like a good chap should and preorder the soon to be released Hidden Lands on CD or LP.
